Is it reinforcing the element of ownership in relationships?
‘You’re mine‘ ‘I let you sleep with other people’ etc?
By the way this is genuine- I was having this conversation and I wonder from a swinger’s perspective? As a poly person I do struggle with the wording so want to understand it more.  |

It's interesting, in most of our relationship there is no element of ownership, we do our own thing. Sexually though it defo comes into it - I wonder if it's because of the sub/dom dynamic we have? Reconnecting is probably a more accurate way of describing how it feels to me outwith that headspace.

There's not an ownership element with us as we are both in this together and play as a couple so it's not really the case for us that one person is "letting" or "allowing" the other one to play. For us the reclaim sex is about reconnecting with each other after playing with others and the confirmation that even though we enjoy swinging, it's an extra to what we already have as a couple. Also we often chat about everything that happened on the way home from a meet or a club night and are usually pretty horny again by the time we get home. |

Depends how you look at the dynamic of it.
Ownership is not all and entirely negative. It can have it's place in a partnership.
A man (or woman) reclaiming their position as the main sexual partner in their relationship. Mutually reclaiming. Not reclaiming the person as property. |

I missed out a few words that would expand here and there but you get the gist of it. |

I like this explanation and I think that's probably how it's used a lot (when people aren't poly but are enm). I once had a ditsy mare want to have reclaim sex with my partner of the time. She was just a fb.
My dislike of the term definitely comes about from that incident. |

Being Poly is less to do with sex than it is with emotional attachment, caring etc ...
People are free to have sex with others in that poly family. No one owns your body or your sex and has no claim to it above other people.
Those type of problems usually come about when one of the partners in not poly or the person claiming to be poly simply means they want to do what ever they want WITH who ever they want.
That's not really poly as in general poly does not pick up 'incidentals' or randoms but has sex within their group , who are all known to each other ...

Also, I will say so what!?
So what if it is about ownership. For some it might be, if that is their dynamic. It's what they both like and both enjoy. Both feel comfortable and themselves in using.
Just because it's questionable wording and outlook makes zero difference as long as it 1. Between consenting adults 2. Legal in all variations.
That's as a general so what, not directly to the OP and their question. |

This is a fair point. It's absolutely between the people in the relationship to decide which term suits them and their dynamic.

Not every poly person has a group nor do they have a polycule or a similar set up. |

Reclaim is one label for it, which is common for hotwives and hothusbands dynamics.
Compersion is how I see it, from a poly point of view. Celebrating that the person I love, has had a wonderful time with another person that they care about x |

At a guess, I'd say the wording could ring alarm bells with some relationships - as you say, if it's all consensual then crack on, but we know that's not the case in all relationships, even those which are ostensibly open. Putting this in a historical context in which married women were literally property not that long ago in terms of human history, and I think questioning the wording is understandable.

The science behind this is spot on.
The urge a man has to 'reclaim' is heavily led by this.
I'd say though, it can be to reclaim his place as the lover, or their relationship together.

I actually love this but probably not in the standard sense of the word.
While I totally understand it for all the couples, I actually love the element of that when it's someone you see often. Not about ownership but about reconnection. The being back in the moments together. After all everyone's different and there's just something lovely about a familiarity, a closeness. Something that says, I absolutely still want you.
Yes please |

This is how I describe it as a person practising ENM.
For me, it’s a celebration of their excitement post physical intimacy with another person they share life with. As a nosy cow, I love hearing every last detail of their experience during said celebration. It is not a focus on one of us being put back into ‘focus’ or claiming the person. Perhaps that paints my view of it as antonymous of ownership.
In my opinion, this will vary largely based on the individual dynamic within the relationship as well. As a whole, in my relationships we have clear communication about a lack of ownership of individuals in terms of freedom to do what you wish with others because you own your own body rather than asking permission or being given the ability to make other connections. I reckon in hotwife/hothusband dynamics this would be more prevelent hence the label. |

Exactly this ...while to others the wording might be problematic. Long as the people who are in the dynamic know what it means to them and both consent. It really doesn't matter. |

We use both the term “reclaim” and “reconnect”. For us it’s used in the sense of when one, or both of us having sex with each other again after doing so with others outside of our relationship.
These encounters very much tend to be the most passionate between us both  |

For us, the reclaim element is probably the best. After a club night, more often than not K would have been naughty. She'll say things like "bigger than you" or "as his cock was the last one inside me, technically my pussy is his". This drives me wild in a great way. The reclaim begins. To achieve a reclaim with a smaller cock is a challenge that means K is in for a hot time. Because of this she will often deny me entering her for days as she knows I'll keep pleasuring her until she needs me inside her.
In effect, an hour with a bull in a club means she will be pleasured for days |

People tell me they are reclaiming their relationship - not everything is about ownership.
Pretty much every couple has told me that the reclaim sex is the best part because they show each other how much they love each other. |

Nothing about ownership for us, it’s just us reconnecting with each other. We will talk about what we’ve done with others. It gets us horny again, so naturally you want more sex with each other.

"I'm poly so reclaim doesn't make sense. We have reconnection sex. Connecting with each other after we go do our own things. "
Yeah this makes more sense than literally reclaiming the person.
Depends on the relationship. |

We have threesomes so it isn’t really reclaim sex. It’s just sex after a threesome. It is better somehow but I don’t think we’ve ever called it reclaim sex. |

Not sure we would name it, but after we’ve been with others, and we have sex alone it it just that bit more passionate, and that bit more wanting to give and be taken by our other halves. Everything feels heightened and more electric - whatever people call it, we like it! |

Is polyamerouse relationship just another name for swinging (relationship). I know swinging is a broad term in the modern day and many people who engauge in swinging activates may not call themselves as swingers. |

No, polyamory is having multiple emotional romantic relationships. Swinging is multiple sexual partners. Generally ethical non monogamy seems to be used as an umbrella for both but swinging is not necessarily non monogamous and there is romantic exclusivity in a lot of cases. |

I thought what you mentioned above is poligomy. Poligomy was having multiple romantic relationships, a polgymist is someone who has multiple wives or husbands. |

Nope. Poligomy isn't a word I'm afraid. Polygomy is marrying multiple people.

I didn't? Just stated the word poligomy doesn't exist as poster used it in a different setting to polygamy so I thought they thought they were different words for different things. |

Interesting viewpoints depending on the type of relationship people are in. I don’t see that there’s any right or wrong but whatever works for you.
This is all new to me as I’m not usually involved with someone but it was them that mentioned ‘reclaim sex’. To put it into context for us we do occasionally have a D/s scenario. I’m sure we’ll work out what’s right for us. |

"We class it as reclaim sex but not in an ownership kind of way. He knows I'm his and he is mine (as a couple) I am the only one who plays- hubby loves it. It is an intense love making session "
That's exactly how it is with us - word for word! |

Same here as per the classification, after the M has left our MFM fun, the reclaim interaction we have is simply amazing, by interaction I mean the hot sex x |
